Realize and Realize Reader System Requirements
Operating System and Browser Support Matrix
The Realize and Realize Reader system requirements include the latest versions of Google™ Chrome™, Microsoft Edge®, Mozilla® Firefox®, and Apple® Safari®. By designating officially-supported operating systems and browsers, Savvas is able to ensure an optimal user experience; however, Realize and Realize Reader will operate in other, untested combinations of operating systems and browsers.

Additional Requirements
- Adobe® Reader® (latest version) and Microsoft® Excel® or other spreadsheet software is required for teacher and administrator accounts. Allow outgoing HTTPS/SSL communication to savvasrealize.com through port 443.
Permitted URLs
Use the Permitted URLs list as a reference when configuring firewall and/or content filtering devices to allow access to the resources. View the full list.
Internet Connection
A bandwidth speed of 1 Mbps per user is recommended for optimal performance on all Realize and Realize Reader apps.
- At School: The Realize application is a modern web application; the user's web browser will cache Realize for a period of 30 days or until a new version becomes available. It is estimated that an average of 12MB worth of data is transmitted per student per day. This estimate is based on a student usage session of seven page hits and downloading one content item.
- At Home: Broadband via cable modem, DSL, or other high-speed Internet connection typically provides the recommended bandwidth.
Check your web cache settings. When properly configured, web caching may result in improved performance.
